Summary
Mitchell Terpstra is an AI software engineer with eight years of hands-on experience building and maintaining infrastructure and production software at Tulip Interfaces, where he progressed from intern to TechOps and now focuses on AI engineering. He combines a rigorous Computer Science, Mathematics, and Philosophy background from UMass Amherst with a practical Ops-first mindset—automating deployments, restoring critical infrastructure, and improving internal tooling. Comfortable across React front-ends, PowerShell automation, cloud environments, and model-driven systems, he bridges developer ergonomics and reliable operations. An avid learner (his GitHub motto: "I'M HERE TO LEARN"), Mitchell pairs curiosity about philosophy, music, and literature with a methodical approach to problem-solving. Outside work he rock climbs and seeks adventures, bringing the same exploratory spirit to prototyping and experimentation in AI.
